The Steed closely resembles a [[wp:Ford E-Series#1992-2007|1992-1996 Ford Econoline]] delivery truck, and as such may be seen as a [[File:Steed_badges.png|thumb]]"successor" to the [[GTA III Era]] [[Mule]], which was also depicted as a Ford E-Series box truck (the Mule reappears in the [[GTA IV Era]] alongside the Steed, however this new take on the Mule is based on the Isuzu Elf).

The Steed comes with various company names on the sides, such as, [[24/7|24/7 Supermarkets]], [[Krapea]], [[Liberty Tree]], [[Logger Beer]], [[Raine]], and [[Üder Milkén]]. As is with the majority of delivery vehicles, the Steed may also been seen with graffiti on its cargo hold. It also can have a blank variant with no company names or grafitti.

The Steed's engine is possibly a diesel V8 coupled to a 5 speed gearbox. Like most large vehicles, the Steed has poor acceleration and handling, but it has a very good top speed for a vehicle of its size at 103 mph. The braking, however, is very good with ABS as a standard equipment. Despite its height, the Steed doesn't tip over easily.

* The police radio calls the Steed an industrial van (because it's based on one) instead of a truck. Because it's a van, it doesn't have a beeping reverse tone like industrial trucks have.

* Upon delivery of all thirty cars for [[Stevie]], when he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], the Steed may be sold for $4,000.

* A Steed is also known as a horse to ride on.

* Steed with the "A" is a play on the name "Steeda", a company that makes and sells Mustang parts in the United States. They carry parts for all late model Mustangs and other Ford vehicles (since Ford is the real-life counterpart of [[Vapid]]).
